J. Graham's: Home of the Legendary Hot Brown

Tucked into a corner of Louisville's historic Brown Hotel, J. Graham's offers guests casual dining for breakfast or lunch. And, J. Graham's also offers guests a chance to order a legendary Hot Brown in the very hotel where the Louisville specialty was invented.

Unlike its sister restaurant, the English Grill, J. Graham's provides more of a bistro dining experience. At lunch, the eatery offers two different types of buffets plus bistro-style dishes, such the club sandwich ($10), the Niçoise Salad ($11) and a Calamari Po' Boy accomanied by a black bean salad ($14).

Or, for lunch, enjoy the Brown Hotel's signature sandwich, the Hot Brown ($14): sliced turkey on toast points laced with bacon, a cheese mornay sauce, Parmesan cheese and tomato, all  broiled into a warm, cheesy delight. The Hot Brown was invented in the Brown Hotel's kitchen in 1926.

On Tuesdays, the Hot Brown is included on J. Graham's full buffet. You can also get the original Hot Brown upstairs at J. Graham's sister restaurant, the English Grill, a AAA Four-Diamond fine-dining restaurant.

For breakfast, J. Graham's offers two types of buffets and several egg, waffle, pancake, omelet and other a la carte options.

J. Graham's has free wi-fi. An 18% service charge is added to parties of eight or more.
